So, just when did being born at post war become derisive ?
Me 1943, nothing anyone can do about when, or where we were born.

Divide, divide, divide.
Deride, deride, deride.
Decide, decide, decide. We need to treat people like individuals whenever possible and avoid Satan's trap of divide and get groups pitted against each other. We're seeing how that plays out right now in America. It's a trap.

I was born right in the middle of the boomer infestation. 1954. Happy to have had parents that were of the greatest generation. My Dad was a WW2 vet, 1st gen American and proud of it, he enlisted in November of 41 before war was declared. Spent the whole war on fighting on Japanese islands.

I guess that Wabi is a rounding error. It's ok by me if he want to join the Boomers.

i think its because the current crop of f ukktards in power are boomers. and boomers were just getting rolling when this country started going downhill in the mid-60's and accelerated in the 2000's when they got the reins. but boomers are also responsible for some of the greatest things we have. i'm a tail end boomer myself and manage to keep things in perspective. the late 60's-late 80's pretty much sucked in this country. divisive politics, declining economy, high interest rates, inflation, herpes, disco, schitty cars, loss of jobs, etc. these days its different, maybe worse in some ways but better in a lot of ways. but its easier to hate. hate feels good.

He might have been fighting along side my dad. He enlisted also. Was wounded on Okinawa a few months before the end of WWII.

Boomers couldnt vote for Kennedy in 60 or LBJ in 64.
Previous generations of such "high esteem" did.
Thanks alot..... the schitt show of today rest fully in their hands.
One issue voters who fell for The Camelot schitt and the Great society schitt...
And Nixon was sweating on TV during that 1st ever televised debate... Not to also mention all the democrat election fraud in Illinois, and Chicago, and 11 other questionable states in the 1960 election. That schit was all spun away too......

AZmark: I am not only happy and proud to be a "baby boomer" (born July 1947!) I am LUCKY to be born at all. My father (may God now rest his soul!) was also a WW II veteran - he was seriously wounded and taken prisoner by the Germans. Luckily he was eventually liberated and sent to Paris where his wounds were first treated and he began recovery. So each day I begin by thanking my being here at all - and enjoying the freedoms and liberties that WW II Veterans made possible for "us". Proud "baby-boomer" in Montana!

Ok,Boomer isn’t ok you old retard born between x and y.
It simply means ok,you old retard we get it you’ve managed breath and eat long enough to live past your prime.
Getting old isn’t an accomplishment and it gets old listening to old farts talk about how they’re better simply because they are old.
And those same old [bleep] are from the same generation that failed to secure a free and prosperous America for the younger generation they love to bash. Because it was easier to just go to work and go along to get along than it was to stand for something.

Excuse me, you aptly named hypocrite, your still immature little baby mind cannot comprehend the accomplishments we Boomers achieved before you were born. Nor do you have any idea who the eff you're trying to berate here. This nation was best in the world - until your sniveling little ass came along. You've done exactly nothing except to vote in Marxists so you could steal for yourself what others have earned. Well, we Boomers who have fought against socialism first hand learned this: your free lunch isn't.
In the meantime, thank you KAREN.

I believe every generation does the best they can, with what they had and knew at the time. It’s easy to look back and judge with crystal clarity.
When conditions forced Parents to decide between two incomes or a stay at home mom, that IMHO was the turning point. When we allowed the gvt education indoctrination system, social engineer our kids instead of educate, that was the point of no return.
Decades of voting for the lesser of two evils has gotten us just that.....
